The Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC) launched its flagship campaign of “Anti-Deception Season” by deploying the “Anti-Deception Everywhere” promotion truck to tour around 13 locations across the territory from July 18 to 26. Anti-deception videos were broadcast on the giant screen of the truck to remind the public staying alert against deception and urge them to call the “Anti-Scam Helpline 18222” if a scam is suspected.
The first stop of the promotion truck was Causeway Bay. Officers from ADCC and Financial Intelligence and Investigation Bureau (FIIB) distributed anti-deception souvenirs and promotional leaflets to passers-by, which marked the start of the campaign. Subsequently, the promotion truck stopped at Aberdeen, Po Lam, Ngau Tau Kok, Lam Tin, Cheung Sha Wan, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Tai Wai, Tsuen Wan, Kwai Fong, Yuen Long and Tuen Mun. Officers from Commercial Crime Bureau, FIIB, Regional Crime Prevention Offices, Police Community Relations Offices, together with community leaders and other stakeholders, distributed anti-deception publicity materials to members of the public.
To maintain deception prevention efforts successively, mentees of Police Mentorship Programme were invited to take part in the campaign, enabling youngsters to take up the responsibility of enhancing the public’s anti-deception awareness.
